>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 20:33:14 2010 No.991110 The Outsider It doesn't involve the mythos and the ending is a bit cliche, but it's quick to read and very enjoyable.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 20:34:14 2010 No.991116 If you want to get a taste of Lovecraft's sense of humor, read "Ibid."

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 31 20:53:14 2010 No.991155 The Shadow Over Innsmouth is a very good place to start. http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/soi.asp
